O Let My Supplicating Cry

O let my sup­pli­cat­ing cry

By Thee

my gra­cious Lord

be heard;

Give wis­dom and de­li­ver me

According to Thy faith­ful Word.

Instructed in Thy ho­ly law

To praise Thy Word I lift my voice;

O Lord

be Thou my pre­sent help

For Thy com­mand­ments are my choice.

For Thy sal­va­tion I have longed

And in Thy law is my de­light;

Enrich my soul with life di­vine

And help by Thy judg­ments right.

Thy serv­ant like a wan­der­ing sheep

Has lost the path and gone as­tray;

Restore my soul and lead me home

For Thy com­mands I would ob­ey.
